The use of natural colorants in cosmetic preparations is an alternative for developing products that provide aesthetic value while potentially offering antioxidant activity. This study aimed to formulate and evaluate the stability of a blush-on cream containing a combination of turmeric rhizome extract (Curcuma longa L.) and red dragon fruit peel extract (Selenicereus monacanthus L.) as a natural colorant and antioxidant. This laboratory experimental study involved four formulations, namely F0 as the control without extracts, and F1, F2, and F3 containing different concentrations of the combined extracts. The extracts were obtained by maceration using 70% ethanol, and the formulations were evaluated for organoleptic properties, homogeneity, pH, spreadability, adhesion, stability through a cycling test, pay-off, hedonic acceptability, and antioxidant activity using the DPPH method. The results showed that all formulas remained homogeneous and met the spreadability requirements after the cycling test. Formula F3 demonstrated the best physical characteristics, with the highest adhesion time of 22.80 ± 0.70 seconds before and 21.87 ± 0.55 seconds after the cycling test, as well as a spreadability of 5.43 ± 0.21 cm before and 6.03 ± 0.06 cm after the cycling test. The pH value of F3 changed from 5.67 ± 0.21 to 4.63 ± 0.15, but remained within the appropriate pH range for topical preparations. The highest antioxidant activity was obtained from F3, with an IC₅₀ value of 61.70 ± 1.49 ppm, classified as strong antioxidant activity. The Friedman test showed no significant difference in the level of preference among the formulas in terms of color, aroma, and texture (p > 0.05). Based on these results, F3, containing a combination of 8% turmeric rhizome extract and 3% red dragon fruit peel extract, demonstrated the best physical characteristics, stability, and antioxidant activity, indicating its potential for use as a blush on cream containing natural colorants.
ABSTRAKPenggunaan pewarna alami dalam sediaan kosmetik menjadi salah satu alternatif untuk menghasilkan produk yang memiliki nilai estetika sekaligus berpotensi memberikan aktivitas antioksidan. Penelitian ini bertujuan memformulasikan dan menguji stabilitas blush on cream kombinasi ekstrak rimpang kunyit (Curcuma longa L.) dan ekstrak kulit buah naga merah (Selenicereus monacanthus L.) sebagai pewarna alami dan antioksidan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode eksperimental laboratorium dengan membuat empat formula, yaitu F0 sebagai kontrol tanpa ekstrak, F1, F2, dan F3 dengan variasi konsentrasi kombinasi ekstrak. Ekstraksi dilakukan menggunakan metode maserasi dengan etanol 70%, kemudian sediaan dievaluasi meliputi organoleptik, homogenitas, pH, daya sebar, daya lekat, stabilitas melalui cycling test, daya oles, uji hedonik, serta aktivitas antioksidan menggunakan metode DPPH. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa seluruh formula tetap homogen dan memenuhi persyaratan daya sebar setelah cycling test. Formula F3 menunjukkan karakteristik fisik terbaik dengan daya lekat tertinggi, yaitu 22,80 ± 0,70 detik sebelum dan 21,87 ± 0,55 detik sesudah cycling test, serta daya sebar 5,43 ± 0,21 cm sebelum dan 6,03 ± 0,06 cm sesudah cycling test. Nilai pH F3 mengalami perubahan dari 5,67 ± 0,21 menjadi 4,63 ± 0,15, tetapi masih berada dalam rentang pH yang sesuai untuk sediaan topikal. Aktivitas antioksidan terbaik diperoleh pada F3 dengan nilai IC₅₀ sebesar 61,70 ± 1,49 ppm dan termasuk kategori kuat. Hasil uji Friedman menunjukkan tidak terdapat perbedaan tingkat kesukaan yang signifikan antarformula pada parameter warna, aroma, dan tekstur (p > 0,05). Berdasarkan hasil tersebut, F3 dengan kombinasi ekstrak rimpang kunyit 8% dan ekstrak kulit buah naga merah 3% merupakan formula yang menunjukkan karakteristik fisik, stabilitas, dan aktivitas antioksidan terbaik sehingga berpotensi digunakan sebagai blush on cream dengan pewarna alami.
